Download or read book Handbook for Preparing Sec Annual Reports and Proxy Statements written by Lawrence D. Levin and published by CCH Incorporated. This book was released on 2008-03-01 with total page 928 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 18th edition of CCH's SEC Handbook, an excellent compendium of various SEC rules, regulations and forms, is intended to be used as a companion to this volume. As has been done in the past, Chapters 2 and 3 of this book highlight new rules and SEC interpretations relevant to annual disclosure documents as well as those proposed rules that are likely to influence future filings. The 2007 proxy season was impacted by significant new disclosure requirements for executive and director compensation, related party transactions, director independence and other governance matters. Although the 2008 proxy season should be less burdensome, new guidance from the SEC along with a few new rules will impact preparations for 2008 annual meetings. Executive compensation will continue to be the main focus for 2008 annual meeting disclosures. During 2007, several hundred companies received comment letters from the SEC regarding their executive compensation and related disclosures, and in October 2007, the SEC reported that it had completed its review of such disclosures of over 350 public companies. The SEC noted that two principal themes emerged from this review. First, the Compensation Discussion and Analysis needs to be focused on "how and why" a company arrives at specific executive compensation decisions and policies. Second, the SEC staff wants improvement in how compensation disclosures are presented, including the use of plain English and improved organizational techniques such as the use of executive summaries and tables and charts. In addition, under the SEC's new e-proxy rules, large accelerated filers will need to determine whether to proceed with delivery under the "notice and access" model, which will mean new disclosures and new deadlines for completion of their proxy statement. New rules and interpretive guidance regarding management's report on internal control over financial reporting will also require careful scrutiny. Finally, companies will want to carefully scrutinize shareholder proposals in light of the SEC's November 2007 amendment to Rule 14a-8(i)(8). This amendment clarifies that companies may omit from their proxy materials any proposal that relates to a nomination or an election for membership on the company's board of directors or a procedure for such nomination or election.

Book excerpt: College football in the South, it has been said, is like a religion, and nowhere is the passion and dedication more evident than at the twelve universities that make up the Southeastern Conference. The SEC is one of the most storied associations in all of collegiate sports. Its intense rivalries, historic programs, iconic coaches, and championship traditions are felt every autumn, from Gainesville to Little Rock, Baton Rouge to Lexington. The competition among the schools is as fervent as ever, fomenting rivalries within states (Alabama vs. Auburn and Mississippi State vs. Ole Miss) and across borders (Florida vs. Georgia and LSU vs. Arkansas). Many legends of the game have graced the SEC gridiron, including Fran Tarkenton, Joe Namath, Reggie White, Herschel Walker, Bo Jackson, Emmitt Smith, and Peyton, Archie, and Eli Manning---to name just a few. Celebrating three-quarters of a century of incomparable football, this lavishly illustrated book celebrates the stars, heroes, characters, and games that have made the SEC a force beyond reckoning. The book explores the players and the coaches, the teams and the traditions, and the great games and individual performances that have defined each decade of SEC football. Vintage and modern photography bring the world of the Southeastern Conference, past and present, brilliantly to life, and complete this timely tribute to an exceptional football legacy.
